Chapter 12: Warriors Clash and Evil Spreads
Black Star just stared at the bulked up Mosquito. Black Star's current calm stature was unflinching to Mosquito's menacing self. The near 1000 year old monster butler slowly approached Black Star, growling and snarling the whole way.
Black Star couldn't even tell if Mosquito was just grinding his teeth out of rage or if the angry bug man was trying to form a sadistic smile from his sharp jaws. Mosquito opened his mouth. "I guess it's rather obvious that you're the little punk who's been causing us so much trouble outside our front door."
Black Star didn't respond. He wanted to say something like "maybe your guards and soldiers shouldn't suck so bad", but he had already promised Tsubaki that he would end this fight as soon as possible.
Mosquito clenched his monstrous fist and lunged at Black Star with alarming speed. Back star instantly reacted and jumped back just in time to avoid having the shape of Mosquito's knuckles imprinted on his face.
The blue hair ninja back flipped and stood up to come see that Mosquito had already jumped right in front of him. The butler launched several melees at the meister but not one punch actually landed as a hit.
Black Star was actually a little bored. He and the others had already fought this guy before, do his expectations were pretty low for how this fight would turn out. He jumped back as Mosquito's fist neared his face.
Once Black Star had jumped back once more, Mosquito smirked and tried once more to maul the ninja before he could land to the floor. But as Mosquito's fist came hurtling at Black Star, the ninja swiftly and effortlessly brought up Tsubaki (chain scythe) and cleaved her in between the middle knuckles of Mosquito's fist earning a pained grunt from the butler.
Black Star smirked. "Man, I already knew that you probably wouldn't have anything new from the last time we fought, but this is a little pathetic. You sure you don't have any other forms stuffed down inside you, or something?"
"Little shit..." Mosquito mumbled to himself.
"Black Star..." Tsubaki sighed not wanting her meister to get the enemy angrier than he already was.
Mosquito smirked. "Hehehe, of course I have other forms..." he lifted his head to show that his eyes and become red and inhuman. "BUT YOU'LL BE DEAD BEFORE I EVEN NEED TO USE THEM!" Mosquito the grabbed Black Star with his free hand, clenched his fingers around him tightly, and then lunged both of them into the nearest wall. Mosquito rammed himself against Black Star like a wrecking ball, smashing a hole in the wall.
Black Star coughed up a small amount of blood as he fell to the ground once Mosquito stepped back.
"BLACK STAR!" Tsubaki exclaimed worried.
As Black Star started to get up, Mosquito spoke. "I know that i wasn't exactly the victorious one during our fight in the magnetic field...BUT DON'T THINK FOR A SECOND THAT YOU HAVE A CHANCE OF BEATING ME ALONE, WORM!"
As Black Star pulled himself off the ground, he began to laugh. Both Tsubaki and Mosquito had looks of confusion. "Yeah, it's true that I'm on my own this time, but so what?" he looked up staring at Mosquito intensely. "But it was Maka alone that took you down with that one move of hers."
Mosquito scowled.
Black Star got of the floor. "And now that it's just me, you think it's gonna be any easier?" he lifted Tsubaki. "Tsubaki, enchanted sword mode." he said firmly.
"Um..Right..." and she did as she was told.
As Tsubaki transformed into the enchanted sword, Black Star continued. "It was Maka that whooped your ass last time." Black Star's menacing expression was then replaced with one of shear confidence. "All that means is that, this time, I'M gonna be the one to kill you!"
The shadows of the enchanted sword started to dance in a chaotic fashion around Black Star as some of them merged with his skin like they usually do.
Mosquito tried not to look threatened. And while he didn't feel any actual fear, he did get the feeling that this would take much longer than he thought.
*In the jungle...
Sid was continuing to evade Giriko and his barrage of slashing blades. "Dammit!" Sid screamed in his head. "Where is all this energy he's got coming from?! Does he ever get tired?"
Sid eventually ran into a slope leading down a hill into another part of the jungle. He took the opportunity to slide down and escape Giriko. As he slid, he looked up to make sure that Giriko did not see him. The sound of fierce blades could still be heard but there was no sign of the demon chainsaw, leading Sid to think that he had eluded the maniac's sight.
Sid landed on the ground and quickly limped over to a tree to lean on. He grasped and clenched at his left shoulder. He had received a deep cut into his shoulder while trying to escape Giriko and was bleeding badly.
Naigus transformed and tried to help him from collapsing. "Okay, Sid, it was safer when you where just going up against grunts and golems; but now you've been seriously injured by a main officer of these psychos. You need to rest."
"There's no time. If I were to just sit here then the others would-UGH!" he coughed up blood before he could finish his sentence and slowly started to drop to the ground.
"What the hell did I just say?" Naigus said as she helped him off the ground.
Sid was panting trying to catch his breath. He had a similar experience in battle against the samurai Mifune. But there was a huge difference in endurance this time, AND MIFUNE WASN'T A COMPLETE PSYCHOPATH!
"Okay..." he said still panting. "I guess it's only doing more damage to myself if I continue to run on fumes like this." he then turned to look at his weapon. "But we can't rest for too long, there are others who need our help."
Naigus nodded. "Right, but until then..." she proceeded to gently lay him down so that he was sitting up against the tree. She then pulled a small roll of bandages out from one of her pockets. Naigus began wrapping up his wounds while Sid sat back and tried to regain what little energy he had left.
*With Giriko...
"Dammit, dammit, dammit, how the hell do I lose a blue-skinned zombie wearing war gear!" Giriko exclaimed while looking around for Sid. "I don't care how dead that guy already is. When I find him, I'M GONNA RIP HIM A WHOLE NEW-urk!"
Giriko became silent and grasped at his chest, almost as if he were about to have a heart attack. "Wh..what the..." he said in an annoyed voice. The annoyed look on his face then became a look of fear. "Oh shit..." he whispered to himself.
"NO...no, no, no...NO, FUCK NO! DON'T DO THIS TO ME NOW!" he exclaimed now in anger. He looked as if he were about to burst into the flames of his own rage but he eventually smiled. "Hehehe. no...no way is it that...I'm sure it's just exhaustion is all. Yeah...That's right...exhaustion...I'm perfectly fine."
Giriko then took his hand away from his chest and continued to look for Sid. "When I find you, zombie..." he began. "It's nothing personal, BUT I'M GONNA KILL YOUR ASS WORSE THAN ANY ASS I'VE EVER KILLED!" and he continued his hunt.
*With Medusa, Stein, and the others...
They were all about done with there little break and were about to continue on (OMG, THE PICNIC WAS REAL!). They were stretching there legs trying overcome the blood rushing to there heads (I hate that).
"Ah man, my legs are so stiff..." Liz moaned.
"Mine too..." said Marie.
"Hm...? Hey shouldn't Medusa have been back by now?" Maka asked as she and everyone else started looking around for her.
"She said she was going to scout ahead for traps but I would have imagined that she'd be back by now." said Stein.
Crona's eyes widened with worry. "*Gasp, you don't think that something bad could of happened to her, do you?"
"Doubt it..." Stein responded. "Even if she did run into any trouble, she's perfectly capable of defending herself." he gave an odd blank stare. "But just to be safe, I think I'm gonna go look for her. We can't move on until she's back with us anyway." he said as he threw down a cigar that he just finished, stepping on it to put out the singed end.
As he began to walk off, he turned and looked to the others. "I think it goes without saying that nobody should leave this area until I come back."
"Right." they all confirmed nodding there heads. and Stein was off.
As he left, Kid and Soul stood next to each other, both with uneasy looks on they're faces. They couldn't place what it was but they felt like something was wrong, and without even speaking they could tell that they were thinking the same thing.
*With Medusa...
Medusa was slouching on the ground against a tree. She had her arms hugged around her knees and was completely silent. She was bearing a very sadistic smile. Her current expression was almost disturbing, it was as if she was...evil...(WHAT!?).
All of a sudden, a foreign voice that was still somewhat familiar spoke to the snake witch. "You've really fooled them, haven't you?"
"Yeah..." Medusa responded with a menacing grin. "I guess I have..."
"And they don't suspect a thing..."
"Not at all..." Medusa shook her head in agreement with the voice.
"After you've used them to kill your sister and the Kishin, what will you do then...?"
"They'll die soon enough..."
"They'll all die?"
"..." Medusa was silent for a moment. Her smile then became more menacing. Her snake eyes were now those of a dragon. Her vector shaped tongue licked her lips and she finally responded. "Everything is going perfectly."
"That was a good lie you told them about your family. It's smart to have them feel sorry for you..."
Medusa's smile slightly faded. "Well...Not all of it was a lie. But you are correct, they were hook line and sinker to it, that's for sure."
The voice laughed. It's laugh was mellow and faded into silence. "...Are you going to have them ALL die?" it finally asked.
Medusa stopped smiling and brought her head up. "No..." she said. Her smile then returned, still eerie and full of madness. "No, I will keep my darling Crona. And of course I must keep Stein. He's Mine forever now."
"When they find out what your doing, you'll be in big trouble. What if they won't love them anymore?"
Medusa laughed. "It doesn't matter if they don't love me..." she then gave an expression that could scare even the most homicidal of maniacs. "Because as long as I have love to give them, they will be mine forever."
The voice was silent for a moment. "I thought you didn't love Crona..."
Medusa's smile faded back to a normal smile. "I never said that."
"But you tortured her and made her do horrible things."
Medusa stopped smiling completely. "It'll be fine...Everything will work out in the end..."
The voice took a very long time to respond this time. "You keep telling yourself that. You know that no one, not even them REALLY love you, right?"
Medusa then looked up angrily.
"You know that no body loves you. It's been that way ever since-"
"SHUT UP!" Medusa screamed at the voice before it could finish it's sentence.
They were both silent for a much longer time now. Eventually the voice spoke one last time. "Your pushing your luck to hard. you should have died long ago."
Medusa got even angrier.
The voice continued. "You've just gotten lucky up until now. You should be dead already. You evil, sadistic, heartless, bitch." it said the last few words very coldly.
Medusa was about to get up and scream at it, but before she could, she heard someone else's voice.
"Medusa!?" it was Stein.
Stein eventually came up on the tree that Medusa was lying against. "Oh there you are." he said with a faint smile, relieved that he had found her.
Medusa tried to shake off anything about the conversation she just had. "O...O-oh. Hey...Stein." she got up off the ground and stood next to him. "sorry that I wasn't back yet, I must of dozed off. Please don't tell me that you came all the way out here just for me." she said in a playful pout.
"Well of course I did. Your an ally, and we need you." he responded.
"Well shall we go then?" she asked taking his hand.
"Um...sure..." he said trying to avoid a blush.
The to began walking back to the others. As they walked, Stein glanced at Medusa. He hadn't heard any at all of what just happened between Medusa and the voice but...He could tell...She was like him, and he could tell...that she was a traitor...
EXTRA:
Medusa:...
Maka: Um, Medusa, don't you have anything for the extra?
Medusa: I don't think it be a good Idea to do an extra right now...
Maka: Why not?
Medusa: Angrysoundwave is really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really mad.
Maka:...Oh God...
Okay, first off all I would like to say that this chapter would have been up sooner, but i was having huge computer problems and was even faced with the threat of permanently losing my account, witch means I wouldn't be able to continue this story. But everything's fine now and I also apologize if this chapter was too short.
Second, I recently received a guest comment complaining about several things with Medusa. I hope you have read this current chapter because if you have then I hope you feel like a FUCKING IDIOT. SERIOUSLY YOU ASS HOLE! MAYBE YOU SHOULD WAIT AND ACTUALLY SEE WHAT FUCKING HAPPENS BEFORE YOU GO AND MAKE A DUMB ASS ASSUMPTION LIKE YOURS! Seriously, i was already having a shitty day and reading you comment just ruined the rest of it for me. I will make Medusa good if I want, Or is she still evil, You'll have to keep reading to find out. I know you were trying to be nice half way through your comment but I want you to know just how mad you made me. I'm not going to say that everything you said was bullshit wrong, but everything you said is totally bullshit wrong. And I am most certainly not the first person to make Medusa good, or did i make her good, YOU'LL HAVE TO KEEP READING TO FUCKING SEE!
Sorry tot he people who are enjoying the story that I had to get so aggressive right there but in other news: It looks like some heavy shit is going down with Medusa. Who could it be that was talking to her. Actually, why don't you put in the comments who you think she was talking to. I'd be very interested to see what your guesses are because even my good friend MaxStarscream has not been told.
If you a fan than you are a friend, if your a hater...then fuck you, no one wants to hear your opinion.
